BAD PRODUCTS

AS YOU ENCOUNTER THEM IN

EVERYDAY LIFE

Hobby

A hobby since a few years: collecting a list of products that in certain respect are
* miserably designed
* miserably manufactured
* miserably documented
* or otherwise miserable.
The products may be excellent in other respects. It may even be that the individual specimen had a problem, while other specimens are intact. In some of the cases the problem is very minor, but still gets you irritated. This hobby just requires that you are able to observe things around you and have some time to take pictures of them as well as put them on display on the web.

Disclaimer

These web pages have no official status. I have not received any training specifically for evaluating different products. I am working as engineer in a Finnish company. The information is the result of my personal experience with the product or product specimen, but there are a few samples which were hinted by friends. The purpose is to highlight different shortcomings of products, but not to disparage the products or manufacturers or sellers as such. If somebody feels that this is the kind of problems people he or she often sees with the products or services he uses or purchases, these pages have managed to satisfy a social function. If somebody feels that the pages are just fun, it is ok also. And, last but not least, I give no guarantee of the quality of these web pages; they are what they are, and may have defects, and may appear poor as a "product".
